BIOGRAPHY

Born in China, raised in Australia and based in the Netherlands, Amy Suo Wu is an artist and designer researching how language, technology and media shape people and vice versa. Her research based hybrid practice is an exploration into how to activate, amplify and intervene in critical and playful ways.

Since 2013 she has been teaching at the Willem de Kooning Academy in Rotterdam. In the same year, she co-founded Eyesberg, a (graphic) design studio motivated by conceptual and experimental approaches. She also organises Zine Camp, an annual zine making festival in Rotterdam.
